Headset
The unique headset has been specially designed for the Roady2 Personal
Audio System to receive satellite radio signals and produce excellent
sound quality. The headset contains a built-in antenna that has the same
ability to receive satellite signals as the antenna that is included in the
Roady2 package. There is a built-in volume control on the right side.
Like your Roady2 antenna, the headset must be in a line of sight with the
satellite in order to function. Being underneath large trees or inside buildings can affect satellite radio reception.
Caution: Do not plug your headset directly into your Roady2. Doing so could damage your
Roady2 and void your warranty.
Battery Pack
The Roady2 Personal Audio System uses a Lithium Ion battery for excellent performance. The battery must be in place for all functions.
To recharge the battery, use the AC adaptor and plug it into the unit with
the battery in place. The battery will fully charge in approximately two
hours when the Roady2 Personal Audio System is turned off.
A fully charged battery will run up to four hours in XM mode and at least
12 hours in FM mode.
